KDX200AF from ServiceHonda
Ynot303:
I read the same article and I loved the idea so much I immediately went on ebay :evil:
I ended up with a 2009 kx250f chassis and a complete engine from a 1995 KDX 200... Grand total $950 (with lots still to buy) The engine looks like it's had relatively light use, but it will get a full rebuild (Top to bottom) just to ensure that it won't be a problem.
My intention is to have it ready for late fall and use it as a winter machine with my Trelleborgs mounted up and grip heaters burnin hot :-D
So has anyone else done this on the forum yet? I've been reading lots of good info on the 500 afc section
stevea100m:
I have not done the 200 I did a 250 but alot of the info for that build came from the 500af guys. I bet the af 200 would be better than the SF 200
USMC 500:
Its really cool that there are people out there (like me :-D) that are willing to build the bikes that the factories should still be building....Keep this up and we might have to introduce a KDX AF section here at KXRiders. :wink:

I think that would be pretty cool :mrgreen:
I have the frame already, a buddy who has done a KX5 conversion before, a buddy who is a CNC Machinist and another buddy who is a pro tig welder lined up, but the motor won't get here until next week at the earliest (I'm in Calgary)... I'm getting so anxious.... I can't wait to get started. I know it won't go fast, but it'll surely be fun :-D

Please keep us posted on your progress. You should also post up over at KDXrider.net. There is a whole subsection just for hybrid builds like these.
